Just one more thing....Take your pick at which war. No civilian wants to be caught up in a war no matter the size or location of it. People will do whatever they can to get their families to saftey and unfortunately these people are preyed on by opportunists who take them for everything they have. They feed them incorrect information and promise them the world and in return we lock them up like criminals....

Now, my cake is ready and I have to get it out of the oven.

You say that the increase is due to war, but then will not name one.
Go get your cake out of the oven. I will assume if you don't return that you have realised the error of your assumption.

I just love the sarcasm and rudeness that majority viewholders come out with in controversial posts such as this. In true Bub bub fashion next the personal insults will start.

This is not directed at anyone in particular: Debate the views not the person. Personal insults are just a sign that someone has NO idea how to question, understand, explain yourself, negotiate... basically how to have a mature debate.

Thanks for posting. A bit confusing through the figure don't match with the previous silhouette post. I don't know how much weight to put on the figures in the first bit as it sounds like they include refugees in initial temporary camps and of course Pakistan etc are going to have higher figures.

Shock horror - war torn countries, what are the odds that they would be found t be genuinue refugees.
